so last friday i went to pendleton to go to medical and get my clean bill of health, they sent me away because i didnt come within sick call hours. i was pretty bent outta shape about it as i drove...

hello motivators!

i wanted to throw out an update on my quest to get back in since the last time anything was posted on my status.

here is a brief recap... i had talked with a prior service...

thanks staff sargent, i just looked up fleet feet and it looks like they are all up around san fransisco here in california which is about 6 hours north of me, ill look into it further though and see...

ya i honestly cant see how Marines could have changed that much since ive been in but what do i know ive been out for 5 years. i did find it funny though when my recruiter was tellin me that they...

no offense whatsoever staff sargent but when i looked at your profile and saw that you are a 27 year old ssgt that made me wanna kick myself in the face, i should have never got out.

AGREED!

so i bought a scale, im 221.8lbs, ive lost just over half a pound so far which sucks since its been a week but since muscle weighs more then fat i guess its gonna take a little bit to...

actually lemme rephrase that, id love to be a crew chief for any bird but the osprey is my priority. so if i could find out if one bird has more slots open then another bird then i wouldnt mind...

thats what im really hoping for, especially since the osprey is "fairly" new to the fleet and alot of the die hard 46 guys really dont want to convert over. 6176 is gonna be my first choice fo sho

ive always been one branch and one branch only especially since my dad is a Marine, both times my mom remarried was to Marines so being a Marine has always been in my blood. i honestly dont know what...

good info, i didnt know that, i did try and read about homegrown though but i couldnt find much, as far as the AO goes i read that you are still at the mercy of the crew chief, not that its a big...

i buddy that was a 46 mech was tellin me about homegrown crew chiefs but when i read up on it there is conflicting info. some say its a thing of the past since there is now specific crew chief mos's...

right on, i started doing some searchs on it when i posted that earlier

i qualed as a ws4 in bootcamp, wish i would have tried for higher now but i didnt cause they said it was an option and i...

so i dont have to do a swim qual before getting selected for air crew? i would go through p-cola and would have to pass before leaving?

what exactly does the aircrew canadiate school consist of?

are you going to try and go back the same mos you left with? the reason i ask is i dont really want to go back the same mos i left with but then again i dont really like the idea of leaving it up to...

o hell yes i did, i actually fell asleep on the couch about 930 which is about 2 hours earlier then i used to go to sleep.

sorry i must have read the first posting wrong, i thought you were trying to get promoted to e-3 not that you already were a e-3, i guess your avatar rank screwed me up.

i actually thought about...

small update...

ya i...

i got out of the Marines at roughly 175-180lbs and im just over 222lbs now. ive been out for 5 years and a month.

thanks brother im gonna need the support, im gonna give it my best shot, if for whatever reason i still cant get back in its not gonna be because im overweight or cant pass a pft thats for sure lol....

personally i think boot camp was 75% mental and 25% physical, if you are mentally strong you can do it but if you are pushed to the limits and just give up on yourself then the Marine Corps isnt a...
